It is. He clarified this in a later tweet, whilst also saying he was sceptical of the whole thing for reasons he would later reveal. Exciting? Not really!
c'mon! it's more exciting than all the rest of our games PLUS the not-yet-opened new transfer thread PLUS hoboh's latest ploitical burst blood vessel! 8)

Who is going to be brave enough to start this, after the flak that BB received on the last one? :crazy:

I think it's more of a creak open. Nowt much usually happens until July/August.

Wasn't in the 'best interest of the club and it's fans' (paraphrasing) apparently.

Think it's fair to say Mr Davies is actively out and about (well his legal bods are) looking for someone to sell the club to

Talking of player wages etc does anyone know what the highest wage we've ever paid a player? I'm thinking Anelka or Okocha but I have no idea really.

Sean Davies must go down as one of the most costly.

I doubt that SKD was all that poorly reimbursed for his services...

Well a quick google found Elmander's wage in 2012 (so at Galatasaray) to be £1.8m for the year, which works out at around £34000 per week... I can imagine that he was probably on similar terms here in England if not slightly less, but it's definitely a clue. I'd have guessed he was one of our top earners at the time... bought in for a club record fee as a 'big signing', wages to match.

No, but if we look in terms of value rather cost then our costliest player EVER was this shitcunt.

That shitcunt wasn't so bad.

£35,000/week for Petrov was a travesty.

The highest salary HAS, shirley, to have been Anelka's on his contract extension.

The highest per minute on the pitch, as said, Sean Davis has to be up there.

Aye, must be Anelka. £60kpw was the figure I remember being bandied about, though I have no idea with how much authority.

Quinton must be up there too, though still not close to Davis. 3 games according to Wiki. In 3 years. On free transfer wages. Christ.
